you've got to go where the big spending programs are. rising health care costs are the largest and fastest growing area of spending, bar none. that's why i've been an advocate of changing the way we pay for health care so it's based on the value. and we also need to scrub the defense budget. we have weapons systems that the pentagon keeps telling congress, stop appropriating money for these systems. we don't want 'em, we don't need 'em, they're not helping with defense readiness, and they're nonsensical. and i've been one of the leaders on farm bill reform, too, ending the huge taxpayer subsidies going to large agribusiness. it's not fiscally responsible, and that, too, should be in the mix. jenna: we'll see if we can get some of these big things done. that seems to be what you're going for, and we'll see if it can get done. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. jon: we are awaiting an important meeting of house republicans. we're just getting word that speaker john boehner will unveil another plan to control the ballooning debt
